[BD] Re: Tour 0

[IndoorsDOC]

The thing to note about all this foreign team discussion is that the 
rule has been in force for 3 or 4 years now - there is provision in 
the official tour rules for visiting foreign teams to be seeded up 
near the top as is seen fit. There's no point arguing about it, it's 
in black and white.

On the other hand, if we wanted to change this rule for next season, 
that might be a more fruitful discussion. As mentioned by someone 
already, with the advent of EUCS and such, there mightn't be any need 
for foreign teams to come over and give our top teams more 
competition/experience/variety.

Do people think that foreign teams should continue to be allowed 
entry to tour? Or has the rule outlived it's applicability? Or do 
folk like the 1-per-tour idea?
